Brereton and Samuel

[champs95]

Well, he was a Player of the Season, for a start, and when he took over from Mulgrew at centre-back, he certainly made us look more secure.
I totally accept that he is a step down from our current pairing, but that doesn't mean he is rubbish!
Johnson played well on Saturday, having been anonymous or worse for several months.
I just think your judgements are too black-and-white.

And you say, "Time for him to move on", but all the players in the queue are unproven as yet.

I am quick to point out who is way past their best. Yes.
I said it on the first game thiscseston of Graham. Based on the performance I saw. And have been proved correct over the season. Same with Bennett, same with William's.
On Sat the squad was full of unproven players. It was away at Sheff Wed. You make the step and see what they can do.
Last time I watched William's was away at PNE. He was bullied woefully. And cost us the game. The manager saw what I saw. And we haven't looked back. The Mulgrews, Smallwoods, Grahams, Bennetts .... they are all part of the side that did ok one week, and lost 4-1 the next. A side going nowhere. Bit by bit they are phased out. You may well like them, but you admit yourself. You have no real passion. You dont care if we sit 15th forever. We wont with players like that.

We all have things which we see. And are positive over some things, negative over others.
What I will never understand with you Aucks, is you will spend days, weeks, months seasons defending players like Bennett who just aren't good enough.
What annoys me, is I give you very specific examples as to why I feel a certain way. And you will just disagree with everything I ever say. It gets a bit tireseome after while. But you choose to ignore my posts, and make me out to be a mad man, who just says these things without any substance. Like I have just dreamt up that I don't rate Williams at all.
Bradley Dack got player of the season, not Williams. What are you talking about?
I could just ignore you, but I dont like being that person, I think its rude.
I do not appreciate some guy I dont know disagreeing with everything I ever say. I am getting to the point where I dont want to post anymore.
I disagree with alot you say, but I dont feel the need to come on and pick your views apart.

So now you will have read my response after that Armstrong comment.
I am intruiged at this and just wanted to ask.
I saw, you saw, we all saw Armstrong'ss miss.
The 25 yarder he scored made up for it,. which gets no mention.
So you see a miss, but the goal, worth the admission fee alone, doesn't get a mention.
You tend to see a miss from Armstrong, but fail to miss Elliott Bennett giving the ball away. Knocking crosses out of play.
You talk up Williams, and fail to see any mistake he makes.
You talk up Graham, but fail to see his weakness. But you DO see a weakness in Armstrong.
Is that because I said it?
Or because you genuinley have concerns over Armstrong?
But you DON'T have concerns over Bennett etc?
I find that odd ......
